To Epictetus, We should focus on what we can control rather than what we can’t control. All external events are beyond our control; we should accept whatever happens calmly and dispassionately. However, individuals are responsible for their own actions, which they can examine and control through rigorous self-discipline.
Epictetus thought that the foundation of all philosophy is self-knowledge.
